Christine Haas is new KHOU Channel 11 anchor

Channel 11 KHOU's  has replaced Deborah Duncan with Christine Haas out of Austin.  The Houston Chronicle's David Barron has the scoop:

Christine Haas, winner of two Lone Star Emmy Awards during a five-year stint at KVUE in Austin, will join KHOU (Channel 11) next month to co-anchor the 5-7 a.m. newscast with Vicente Arenas.
Haas and Arenas will debut Aug. 25 alongside meteorologist David Paul and traffic reporter Darby Douglas, said Channel 11 news director Keith Connors.
Incumbent morning anchor Ron Trevino will continue anchoring at noon and will report for the evening newscasts. Shern-Min Chow, who has co-anchored the morning broadcast since Deborah Duncan's move this spring to host Great Day Houston, will return to weekends as the solo anchor. READ THE REST
Austin hasn't seen such big news as Haas leaving KVUE 24 since two Spelce's were on KEYE! OK, that 's all I got in the lame joke bag for today.

What is stranger is that while I was writing this, the song Christine Sixteen by KISS came on iTunes! CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
